Read the log entries for confirmation of my description!
This cache is a metal ammo box. It is hidden on high ground.
There are lots and lots and lots of briars, so be careful! You
might get a little muddy. I STRONGLY recommend
gloves. At one time I placed some bandage strips and antibiotic
ointment in the cache, so that should give you an idea of at least
one of the challenges of finding this cache. I hope the ointment
and bandage strips are still there.
There is a parking lot for the park near the playground:
N 33 2.572, W 96 41.334
You can park in the new parking lot near the first tee of the
Frisbee golf course, or on the street.
The park borders on private land, but you do not need to leave
the park to find the cache. Enter from the parking lot, and you
won't have to jump any fences.
The coordinates of the first 'tee' of the disc golf course
are:
N 33 2.699, W 96 41.498
The coordinates of the first 'hole' are:
N 33 2.668, W 96 41.543 (bearing about 240
degrees).
Each hole is a par 3. I am told a good place to purchase golf
frisbees is Play It Again Sports on Parker at Independence in west
Plano. This can be a double fun outing if you plan for golf, too.
It is a easy 9 hole course.
Thanks go to 'drs' for the first Shawnee Park Gold Mine.
Unfortunately someone left food in his cache and that attracted
critters, and the cache was constantly disturbed. Please do not put
candy or food in the new cache. Thanks.
Shawnee Wampum is another cache within walking
distance.
